Skin Needling
Collagen induction therapy with the medical-grade Dermapen, tailored to your skin.
What is skin needling?
Your skin's natural repair process, put to work
Using a medical-grade Dermapen, we create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. Your skin responds by starting its natural repair process, which supports the production of collagen and elastin over the weeks that follow.
Those same micro-channels also allow active serums to absorb more deeply, so we can tailor every treatment to your skin and your goals.
Who is it for?
Skin needling may help improve the appearance of
Fine lines & wrinkles
Supports firmer, smoother-looking skin as collagen builds over a course of treatments.

Following a Skin Needling session, your skin may appear slightly reddish, resembling a light sunburn. However, there's no need for concern, this typically calms down within 24 to 48 hours.
We suggest beginning with a series of 3 to 6 sessions. The timing of these sessions can vary from 2 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the specific concern we are addressing. As always, we'll collaborate with you to create the most suitable plan for your skin's requirements.
A specialised vial of concentrated active ingredients meticulously formulated for use during the needling procedure. These actives penetrate the skin more rapidly and deeply, thanks to the micro channels created during the treatment. We offer a diverse range of formulas, allowing us to customise the treatment to address your specific skin concerns.
For the best results after skin needling:
- No water on, or touching of, the skin for 12 hours after your treatment
- Avoid heat and exercise for a minimum of 24 hours
- No active skincare for 7 days
- Wear SPF daily
You'll receive a full aftercare list from your therapist after your treatment.
Skin needling suits many skin types, but it isn't right for everyone. If you're new to us, we recommend starting with a skin consultation so we can check your skin and history and recommend the right plan.
